Bulk Oil Cargo The standard defence put forward by a shipowner to a cargo shortage claim used to be that the loss was below or equal to 0.5% of the total cargo. This figure, which originally stemmed from the cargo insurance deductible, was used by shipowners and cargo insurers as a yardstick for in-transit losses […]
Completion of Documentation For Bulk Oil Cargoes Completion of Documentation Once calculation of the ship’s figures has been completed, the shore installation will provide a shore figure. It is generally this figure that is used on the B/L. It is most unlikely that the two figures will precisely coincide, although in practice, and in the […]
Shortage and Contamination Claims For Bulk Oil Cargoes Claims arising from the carriage of oil cargoes are often substantial and may allege either shortage or contamination or both. This chapter provides guidance on how tanker operators can minimise the risk of cargo loss or damage and defend themselves should claims arise. Oil Shortages In general, […]
Ship concept design Unlike a market economy in which new design is a response to a perceived market need, new ship design is typically in response to an expressed need coming from such sources as the advent of new technologies, changes in world politics, new strategies and, lessons learned from previous ship development. This need […]

Also the Master should remind factors to cause reducing stability more such as Alternating course with Big angle of Rudder, Towing by […]

Ship Semi Planing Hull and Monohull Theory Ship Semi Planing Hull Theory Hulls for ships are, viewed from the shape of the hull under the water line, generally classified into three categories: a displacement type hull for a low speed range, a semi-planing type hull for a medium speed range and a planing type hull […]
Monohull and Semi Planing Hull Theory Ship Monohull The hull of virtually all conventional ships and boats has a so-called monohull-configuration. The term “monohull” denotes a hull which is constructed of a single water displacing body. A monohull typically narrows in cross-section toward the front thereof to define a pointed bow which facilitates the ship’s […]
Hull design and deck design ship construction The hull is the main body of the ship below the main outside deck. The hull consists of an outside covering (or skin) and an inside framework to which the skin is secured. The skin and framework are usually made of steel and secured by welding. However, there […]
